Crazy Moon

This is my favorite movie. Never again have I seen Kiefer Sutherland play such a character as Brooks. He was open to being a character free of what others think of him or his way of life and found someone just as open. The end result, he finds love. This movie also shows two peoples' first love and that even with difficulties to overcome, dreams can come true.

As the first person on here stated, this movie should by all means be on DVD! This movie can be found on various sites, though I found the movie on Ebay.

Definitely a love story not to be missed.

This film is an excellent example of Canadian Kiefer Sutherland's acting talent. In this film, he portrays an emotionally stunted young man, who meets a beautiful deaf girl. Although he is rich, and has all the advantages possible, he never got over the feeling of abandonment caused by his mother's disappearance after his birth. The deaf girl is attractively portrayed by Vanessa Vaughn, whom, I believe, is deaf in real life. Their courtship is very touching, as she helps him overcome his fear of swimming while he coaches her to speak better! They help each other with their physical and emotional limitations. Another interesting element to this film is the atmosphere! Most of the music is hit songs from the 30's, as well as Canadian alternative music from the mid-eighties! All set in a picturesque modern-day Montreal setting! Although the plot is definitely weak and contrived in some places, this is still a very worthwhile film to watch on an emotional level!

This movie is about a young man dealing with his overbearing father, manipulative younger brother, and overbearing stepmother all while trying to be his own person. He has a very unique personality, but is not retarded (someone made that comment in an earlier review). This movie is definitely worth seeing and will change your view on Kieffer Sutherland as an actor.

This is a classic love story with a strange setting. Kiefer Sutherland plays a boy with some big social and affective problems, who falls in love with a deaf girl that is trying to find her place in the world. The way this is played out makes the story kind of hard to watch, but at the same time tremendously endearing.

Both actors do a great job, especially the girl, Vanessa Vaughan. I've read she's actually deaf, so I guess she had that as an advantage. Communication plays an important role in this movie, as both characters teach each other to beat their fears. And Vanessa's smile is nothing short of spectacular.

Crazy Moon is a love story about an introverted shy young man named Brookes played by Peter Sutherland who Meets a deaf girl named Anne played by Vanessa Vaughan. Brookes's brother Cleveland played by Peter Spence is a real loser who gets Brookes in trouble and has problems of his own. It was during one of Cleveland's pranks that Brookes meets Anne, The two brothers emotional problems stem from the fact that their Mother left them when they were at an early age.

The point of the movie is the way that the two young lovers Vanessa and Brookes who are from different backgrounds with their own emotional problems, help each other overcome their individual difficulties.

The film takes place in Montreal, and most of the scenes leave no doubt where it was filmed. There is so much music in the film; one could almost call it a musical. The music of the great big bands of the past adds to the film.

The lead actors Sutherland and especially Vaughan with the excellent direction of Allan Eastman make for a good sensitive love story.
